An essential part of the end times myth is the reconstruction of the temple on the site that is currently occupied by a historically significant mosque. The evangelical support of Israel is entirely based around trying to force the prerequisites for Armageddon so they can enter the kingdom of heaven.
Never mind that only 144 thousand devout Jewish people are meant to end up there or that most of what they’re using as a basis for this was some guy’s coded bashing of Nero after getting exiled by him.
So your last paragraph is not entirely true. According to most Christian doctrines, the tribes of Israel stopped being a thing with Jesus, and the title now referred to the followers of the church created by Jesus. Second, the 144k is less a concrete number and more a representation of perfection. People considered pure good would recieve the seal of god on their forehead to contrast those of pure bad that recieve the mark of the beast. Third, the 144k are given the role to recruit others to fight with god against the antichrist and the beast. Finally, in Catholic and Orthodox doctrine, the 144k are theorized to be the saints reborn to lead the rightcheous to victory.
Also, on your first paragraph, the mosque is really only significant because the location is significant to Jews. The rising spirit myth only came about after the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem and the building of the mosque to silence and control the local population.
